A lovely personal insight from Peter about working at the Whitechapel Bell Foundry.
He’s certainly had an interesting career path!

It is only places like the foundry that can give future generations the opportunity to learn and acquire handcrafts. I shall try to be a the meeting and this time I would like to see the GA on the stage and speaking. Surely the organizers must realise that hardly anybody would be there if it wasnt for this blog!

I hope there is a great response to the Save the Bell Foundry campaign rally!
